** Jacqueline moves to Phoenix
She and her husband have sold their house in New York State and are in the process of buying a house in the Phoenix area. They will be moving in mid-January. Since her new house is smaller than her present one, others have volunteered to house the extra copies of AMBROV ZEOR, Sime Gen books, and other material.
Called back from exile to a beleaguered court, the seer Phillipe foresees bloodshed and destruction, unless he can guide the young duke onto an alternate path. The duchy's only hope lies with the Lady Zuli -- who refuses to believe a word Phillipe says. Phillipe makes one perilous psychic journey after another, as Zuli sets her own desperate, opposing plans into motion. "...a well-written and detailed historical novel of intrigue and romance." SFSite . Read the first three chapters at www.speculationpress.com.

In the Art department, we have yet another creation from Tracey Palmer, part of the same set you saw last month. It's a variant on "Moment of Silence", this one with a dark background.
There are also two 'Winter Wonderland' pictures from Celia Ann Leaman. They will inspire you with their beauty...and make you grateful to be inside on a day such as they depict.

This month, you can read another tale from Jayge Carr. This one is a self-proclaimed fairy tale, but in a science fiction setting, called "Reverse Circe" (and you'll just have to read it to find out what that means).
The other two stories in this iteration of SimeCenter are from first-time contributors, and I hope we can get more stories from them, because these are both most worthy.
First, we have "Simple Sarah and Slippery Sam" by Elizabeth Burton. It's sweet and whimsical...but it makes you think.
And we also have "Closed System" by Al Sirois. This one tells of cooperation and survival in an alien environment.

Please visit SimeCenter to enjoy these offerings, and make donations to our 'Special Edition' recipients.
---------Advertisement-----------"BLOOD WILL TELL shakes up everything you thought you knew about vampires, reconstructing legends into a fresh story that keeps your mind fully engaged. It is great to see a writer dare to change long established fictional canons in such a pleasing way. Both hero and heroine are strongly principled and have great strength of character. Small town life is well portrayed, and fans of Ms. Lorrah's past books may see an inside joke or two." Reviewed by Amanda Killgore for TRCC. 4 STARS
